Tabloid names Hollywood’s 20 most hated celebrities

Last week, Star magazine Editor-in-Chief James Heidenry told MediaBistro that his staffers don’t cozy up to Hollywood publicists in the same manner as competitors US Weekly and People. To wit:

“They covet these relationships with the publicists, and as a result they don't say negative things about the celebrities, something like a famous person getting caught cheating, whereas we don't have any such relationships. We still talk to them all the time; sometimes they call us to ask why we ran something and try to correct it. So, we have relationships but we don't covet them.”

So, how many of these publicists called the Star editorial staff to complain about its recent list of the “Hollywood’s most hated stars.” Topping the list, which doesn’t have any hard data supporting it, is actress Gwyneth Paltrow. The magazine pulled a handful of quotes from Paltrow to suggest she’s “arrogant” and “pretentious.”

Rounding out the top five are Kristen Stewart, Jennifer Lopez, John Mayer, and Katherine Heigl. Here’s the full list. What do you think?
